Nerdy Romantics Podcast

Nerdy Romantics Podcast combines romance and nerd pop culture book, TV, and movie recs and reviews. While some podcasts focus solely on either romance or nerdy topics like sci-fi and superheroes, or they either review books or TV and movies, host Y. M. Nelson combines it all, creating a safe space for listeners who are fans of all the things. I bring my own perspective as a romance author and a superhero and Star Trek fan to the discussions.

If you like book boyfriends, HEAs, Star Trek, Marvel and DC Comics, and nerdy TV and movies then this podcast is for you!
